J
ennifer Hernández registered her two sons,
Gabriel (2) and Michael (4), for Dolly Parton's
Imagination Library in early 2022. When we
encountered the family again six months after
enrolling, Hernández reached into her bag to show
two brightly colored books that she shared had just
arrived in the mail. She handed them to her sons, who
brimmed with excitement at seeing their names on the
mailing labels and were eager to point out their favorite
parts of the stories.
"I carry Imagination Library books with me … since
they are guaranteed to hold [Gabriel and Michael's]
attention. I have noticed their interest in books increase
since they began receiving books from the Imagination
Library program," Hernández said.
